Controversial Statements

I cannot distinguish between good and bad moves. I guess many of you are also slightly or strongly confused. Mostly when choosing a move I follow a simple principle "Let's see what happens".

At the same time as we become stronger we formulate for ourselves some heuristic rules that guide us through the game. Go proverbs help but in most cases they are too obscure - just hints, or koans to contemplate.

Quite often understanding of any complex notion comes to us when we find a way to reduce them to known principles, reformulate them using basic notions that are familiar to us, notions that we understand.

I suggest that everybody interested should generate and discuss and finally dismiss some obscure statements about the game, new proverbs. Then these statements will be exposed to the severe examination by the Wiki bound Go playing community.
